  Tier levels are based on your average AND the number of ranked rounds you've completed.  Your going to see Amateurs with low averages because they don't have enough completed ranked rounds to advance to the next tier.

  THANK YOU, steelers75 but if an amateur play's every day just for argument's sake say 5hrs a day playing nothing but ranked rounds and brings his average down shouldn't he start to bring his rank down i mean at 57.71 why is he still at amateur status why didn't it bring it down to master or tour master is what im asking, or is it a mistake. please let me know cause im very curious about this. thank's again

  Technically... somebody could just play blitz, CTTH, alt shot, match play, etc.... to get their level as high as they want it. If they play one ranked stroke play as an amateur and score a 28, they will have a 56 average and never move up in tier unless they play more ranked stroke play rounds. Once they reach a certain amount of ranked stroke play rounds, and assuming their level is high enough, plus.. obviously his average has to be below a certain point... he will advance in tier level. I am fairly sure this info is accurate but if not, please correct me.

  Good Luck,

  Speedy

  i noticed this after two weeks of playing and relized as a newb i had 0% chance against players like this, i became pro tier and now have less chance. i just dont understand why they encorouge these F@#$'s/SANDBAGGERS to do this, by creating such a loop hole it has DEFINATELY discorouged me from depositing.  I suppose i could start a 2nd acc but thats not my style. thx/peace Rik!

  yeah know the feeling riksta im not gonna belittle my self to start a new acct. and then get black balled, but i guess people like these sandbaggers can get away with it and wgt lets it happen what ever happen about the fun of the game and not the money aspect of it well it used to be (in god we trust) but wgt's modo is (in the almighty buck we trust) but the rest of us have to suffer and struggle cause the low man on the scrodum pole is alway's right and first and the rest are left behind.
